Curious about Snipe

[Joe T]

The season for snipe in NY opens Sept 1 but there is no snipe season where I live on Long Island.  Has anyone had success with snipe in NY?  From what I have read it sounds like marshy areas of WMAs may be good spots.  I was also curious to read that some use decoys when hunting snipe!  Anyone have that experience?

I have encountered them here in WNY a couple of times while out duck hunting. The only advise I can give you is to save your energy and don’t bother. Those dang things are so fast, so small and so dodgy you’ll never hit one!!!!

Maybe I can be fast and dodgy too!
